ftrace: Fix function_graph for archs that test ftrace_trace_function
When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set, some archs (ARM) test
the variable function_trace_function to determine if it should
call the function tracer. If it is not set to ftrace_stub, then
it will call the function and return, and not call the function
graph tracer.
But some of these archs (ARM) do not have the assembly code
to test if function tracing is enabled or not (quick stop of tracing)
and it calls the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func() instead.
If function tracer is enabled and then disabled, the variable
ftrace_trace_function is still set to the helper routine
ftrace_test_stop_func(), and not to ftrace_stub. This will
prevent the function graph tracer from ever running.

The current version of perf detects whether or not the perf.data file is
written in a different endianness using the attr_size field in the
header of the file. This field represents sizeof(struct perf_event_attr)
as known to perf record. If the sizes do not match, then perf tries the
byte-swapped version. If they match, then the tool assumes a different
endianness.
The issue with the approach is that it assumes the size of
perf_event_attr always has to match between perf record and perf report.
However, the kernel perf_event ABI is extensible. New fields can be
added to struct perf_event_attr. Consequently, it is not possible to use
attr_size to detect endianness.
This patch takes another approach by using the magic number written at
the beginning of the perf.data file to detect endianness. The magic
number is an eight-byte signature. It's primary purpose is to identify
(signature) a perf.data file. But it could also be used to encode the
endianness.
The patch introduces a new value for this signature. The key difference
is that the signature is written differently in the file depending on
the endianness. Thus, by comparing the signature from the file with the
tool's own signature it is possible to detect endianness. The new
signature is "PERFILE2".
Backward compatiblity with existing perf.data file is ensured.

rbd: fix safety of rbd_put_client()
The rbd_client structure uses a kref to arrange for cleaning up and
freeing an instance when its last reference is dropped. The cleanup
routine is rbd_client_release(), and one of the things it does is
delete the rbd_client from rbd_client_list. It acquires node_lock
to do so, but the way it is done is still not safe.
The problem is that when attempting to reuse an existing rbd_client,
the structure found might already be in the process of getting
destroyed and cleaned up.
Here's the scenario, with "CLIENT" representing an existing
rbd_client that's involved in the race:
Thread on CPU A | Thread on CPU B
--------------- | ---------------
rbd_put_client(CLIENT) | rbd_get_client()
kref_put() | (acquires node_lock)
kref->refcount becomes 0 | __rbd_client_find() returns CLIENT
calls rbd_client_release() | kref_get(&CLIENT->kref);
| (releases node_lock)
(acquires node_lock) |
deletes CLIENT from list | ...and starts using CLIENT...
(releases node_lock) |
and frees CLIENT | <-- but CLIENT gets freed here
Fix this by having rbd_put_client() acquire node_lock. The result
could still be improved, but at least it avoids this problem.

ceph: create a new session lock to avoid lock inversion
Lockdep was reporting a possible circular lock dependency in
dentry_lease_is_valid(). That function needs to sample the
session's s_cap_gen and and s_cap_ttl fields coherently, but needs
to do so while holding a dentry lock. The s_cap_lock field was
being used to protect the two fields, but that can't be taken while
holding a lock on a dentry within the session.
In most cases, the s_cap_gen and s_cap_ttl fields only get operated
on separately. But in three cases they need to be updated together.
Implement a new lock to protect the spots updating both fields
atomically is required.

ceph: initialize client debugfs outside of monc->mutex
Initializing debufs under monc->mutex introduces a lock dependency for
sb->s_type->i_mutex_key, which (combined with several other dependencies)
leads to an annoying lockdep warning. There's no particular reason to do
the debugfs setup under this lock, so move it out.
It used to be the case that our first monmap could come from the OSD; that
is no longer the case with recent servers, so we will reliably set up the
client entry during the initial authentication.
We don't have to worry about racing with debugfs teardown by
ceph_debugfs_client_cleanup() because ceph_destroy_client() calls
ceph_msgr_flush() first, which will wait for the message dispatch work
to complete (and the debugfs init to complete).

drm/radeon/kms/blit: fix blit copy for very large buffers
Evergreen and NI blit copy was broken if the buffer maps to a rectangle
whose one dimension is 16384 (max dimension allowed by these chips).
In the mainline kernel, the problem is exposed only when buffers are
very large (1G), but it's still a problem. The problem could be exposed
for smaller buffers if anyone modifies the algorithm for rectangle
construction in r600_blit_create_rect() (the reason why someone would
modify that algorithm is to tune the performance of buffer moves).
The root cause was in i2f() function which only operated on range between
0 and 16383. Fix this by extending the range of i2f() function to 0 to
32767.
While at it improve the function so that the range can be easily
extended in the future (if it becomes necessary), cleanup lines
over 80 characters, and replace in-line comments with one strategic
comment that explains the crux of the function.

the bug.

proc: make sure mem_open() doesn't pin the target's memory
Once /proc/pid/mem is opened, the memory can't be released until
mem_release() even if its owner exits.
Change mem_open() to do atomic_inc(mm_count) + mmput(), this only
pins mm_struct. Change mem_rw() to do atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_count)
before access_remote_vm(), this verifies that this mm is still alive.
I am not sure what should mem_rw() return if atomic_inc_not_zero()
fails. With this patch it returns zero to match the "mm == NULL" case,
may be it should return -EINVAL like it did before e268337d.
Perhaps it makes sense to add the additional fatal_signal_pending()
check into the main loop, to ensure we do not hold this memory if
the target task was oom-killed.
This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge d3712b9dfcf4 ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream").
The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always
return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether
the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs
this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash.
E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any
write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O
mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad
eraseblocks handling, and so on.
This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to
ensure correct Logfs behavior.
I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND
flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly.
